Sexology for desire, intimacy and sexual self understanding

People searching for a sexologist in New York are often looking for something different from traditional sex therapy. Common reasons for reaching out include:

  • Low or diminished desire that does not feel medical or purely relational

  • Sexual shutdown or avoidance that resists reassurance or technique

  • Questions about erotic identity, agency or authenticity

  • A wish to understand sexuality as part of meaning and selfhood rather than performance

My approach treats sexual experience as an existential phenomenon shaped by recognition, context and lived history.

How sexology consultations differ from therapy

Sexology consultations are not psychotherapy. They do not involve diagnosis, treatment of mental health disorders or crisis intervention.

Instead, this work focuses on:

  • Making sense of lived sexual experience

  • Understanding desire as relational and meaningful

  • Exploring patterns of attraction, withdrawal, longing, or ambivalence

  • Reflecting on how intimacy and recognition shape identity

Because this work is consultative and educational, it is not restricted by state licensure in the same way psychotherapy is.

Who seeks this work in New York

Individuals who reach out for sexology consultations often describe themselves as:

  • Thoughtful, articulate, and inwardly curious

  • Already in therapy elsewhere or intentionally not pursuing therapy

  • Uninterested in quick fixes or technique driven approaches

  • Seeking alignment, clarity, and language for their experience

This work is well suited to those who want to be understood rather than corrected.
